“This is a significant milestone for us and we vow to continue to expand our operations and product range in order to give our customers the best in terms of taste, flavour, and texture,” said Yatila Wijemanne, Managing Director at FoodBuzz – the franchise holder of BreadTalk in Sri Lanka.

Its newest addition to its branch network came on Monday, 1 April, with the opening of an outlet in Thimbirigasyaya; last month it opened another outlet along Galle Road, Bambalapitiya. It also operates an outlet at the World Trade Center in addition to its key outlet at Park Street and flagship outlet at Union Place, Colombo 2.

Raquel Yaseen Co-founder/Director of FoodBuzz added that to commemorate its first anniversary, on 5 April, BreadTalk will offer all food items across all of its branches at half-price.

“We want to give back to our loyal customers. Over the next year, we plan to introduce more signature products to our range of bakery items and cakes as well as the local products range,” she added.
